When you submit your applications online through LSAC, how do you apply for scholarships? I often hear of people on TLS saying getting $$ from this and that school. I assume that’s not just a letter offering money after gaining initial acceptance from the school. What’s the procedure to take to get scholarship money?

There are some scholarships that you have to apply for separately and some schools that will ask you to fill out some financial forms, as well as get some financial info from your parents. But yes, the vast majority just offer scholarships if they want you to go there.

As you can probably figure out, since most don't require any extra application materials for the scholarship money, it's pretty much all based on your numbers.
